Original Note:
Hospitals lose their protection if they are used to commit an act harmful to the enemy. https://www.icrc.org/en/document/protection-hospitals-during-armed-conflicts-what-law-says Al-Shifa was so used (you don't get 90 gunmen in a hospital that isn't being so used). https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/03/20/israel-kills-90-hamas-gunmen-raid-gaza-hospital/ - https://archive.ph/6XTHG Therefore, Al-Shifa lost its protection, and Israel did not commit a war crime.
